It was said recently, that there are BRITISH traffickers organising things. And sadly when they do reach the UK, which they will. Its us that will pick up the tab.

What this country has to do is employ Border agents, and check every lorry coming into the country. And the channel tunnel has to be double checked.

It will get worse.

"British" as in living in Britain.

The revelation was seized on by critics of French law enforcement officials, who have repeatedly said the problem is caused by gangs based in the UK.

The businessman was reportedly arrested on Tuesday and is the seventh person to be arrested in the region as part of a major crackdown on an Albanian gang who hide migrants in lorries before ferrying them across the border

From 2000, BEFORE Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Libya

In his second special report from the southern Adriatic, the BBC's Brian Barron investigates how Albanian gangsters are profiting from human trafficking One of Italy's top anti-Mafia magistrates says Albanian gangsters are taking control of organised crime on both sides of the Adriatic.
The most lucrative commodities are illegal immigrants.

Several million are believed to be in Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal and Germany.

Not exactly a new problem.

From 2014.

But Jean-Claude Larue, who works in Calais for the charity Secours Populaire, said that the migrants don’t necessarily want to stay in France. “The Albanian people smugglers lie to the African migrants and tell them that they can work in the UK which they describe as El Dorado.” Mr Larue told The Independent that the gangmasters were demanding between €2,000 to €3,000 from the migrants.

Asylum seekers given homes and benefits were found to have iPads, mobile phones and flat screen televisions despite claiming they were "destitute", a report has found. The National Audit Office found migrants seeking permanent asylum in Britain were earning an income above legal levels required for them to be given housing and pay-outs.

From various official government sources.

A new standard rate of asylum cash support (£36.95 per person per week) is due to take effect from 10 August 2015. This will be a substantial reduction for single parents and families with children. The Government argues that households can make economies of scale, and that the new rate will bring the UK's provisions in line with practice in comparable EU states.

You’ll be given somewhere to live if you need it. This could be in a flat, house, hostel or bed and breakfast.
You can’t choose where you live. It’s unlikely you’ll get to live in London or south-east England.

Whilst waiting for a decision on the support application, temporary full-board or self-catering accommodation can be provided under section 98 of the 1999 Act.
